March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[Hwallikniw]

IRCC released the latest stats as of November 6. While the processing time remains at 13 months, one clear trend is that the number of pending applications continues to rise, now at 290K compared to 283K last month. For March applicants, the backlog dropped from 89,000 to 78,000. These figures might not tell the full story, but it’s evident that new applications are coming in faster than IRCC is processing them.

Great insight! Thank you for sharing. So 10k down. Hopefully our background will be in one the upcoming batches!

Wait, no AOR? What have you done about this?

I know a person whose online application has been lost twice by IRCC. They have been advised to reapply with the fee waived. Shit happens even online.
